Fantastic 5.0
I would like to express my complete satisfaction with the tour to Nara and Kyoto, especially because of the outstanding work of our guide, Valerie.
She was extremely attentive, well-organized, friendly, and demonstrated extensive knowledge of the history, culture, and the attractions we visited. Throughout the tour, she explained everything clearly and engagingly, and she was always available to answer questions and assist everyone in the group.
Valerie’s dedication, professionalism, and kindness truly made a difference, making the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. Without a doubt, she is one of the best tour guides I have ever had.
My sincere congratulations and thanks to Valerie for her excellent service. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

During the summer vacation, I took my child to Japan. There were many places I wanted to visit, but I knew transportation would be a challenge, and without a guide, I might not understand anything. I've never joined a tour group or a day trip in China before, so I decided to try this with an open mind, and it truly deserves a five-star rating! This package is excellent and very affordable (I really didn't expect it to be so good for such a low price). The tour guide is a very enthusiastic Chinese person who is a permanent resident in Japan. The bus was comfortable throughout the trip, and the guide shared a lot about the local customs and culture from his many years in Japan, which was very insightful. A big thank you to Tour Guide Wu Shifeng; he was excellent and very professional, with no hidden fees! We visited all the classic Kyoto landmarks in one day, and the pace was just right! Highly recommended! Everyone should definitely go for it!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour (departed from Osaka).
Our tour guide, Joe, made the entire day exceptional. We were visiting from San Francisco with our extended family of 10, including several young kids, and Joe went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.
One decision he made was reversing the itinerary taking us to Nara Park first. we were able to see and feed the deer before the deer crackers sold out! Another highlight was that Joe personally walked our group through the monkey park forest trail (all the way to the top.) He took our family photo and gave us time to enjoy feeding the monkeys. He cared that everyone had the best experience.
Take this tour when visiting Osaka - if you’re lucky enough to get Joe as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. Thank you, Joe, for making our family’s day one of the highlights of our Japan trip!

I had really fun on this tour and I feel like for the price that I paid, I got to do a lot of the must-sees in Japan. The tour guide, which I forgot his name 🥲, was really funny and engaging. He offered to take photos for each group and he knew how to speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. Also, I'm glad that I was able to upgrade to have a lunch even though I didn't originally buy it through Klook. I feel like if I didn't have food reserved before, I would have spent less time in one of the areas. Overall, I would definitely do this tour again in the future.

This tour was amazing with the sightseeing! That view with the temple and Nachi falls in the background is the highlight. How ever, you should take few things into account. First you will be spending a lot of time in the bus. The roads are in the mountains meaning a lot of turns. If you suffer from motion sickness take your meds with you and email the guide in advance if you would like to seat at front. Second, take your favorite snacks with you. Third, take your headphones with you. I recommend eating a meal at the Nachi stop since that is the only chance for proper meal. Good thing is that the guide gave neckpillows and also water which was really nice. Also I appreciated a lot that he had a finnish audio guide! That is super rare. The guide spends all time driving so he plays the guides for everyone. He gave enough guidance to look the sights by ourselves. Lastly, check-out the weather cast before going. With these in mind you will have an amazing trip and incredible photos!

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us to know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji , Byodo , Kiffune Shrine , and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

We love the tour so much and had a very excited experience in this trip. Just that the time for each stops is too short, but overall still acceptable. Our guide, Yuki is very talented with multilingual in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English, friendly to answer all our questions patiently. We really enjoyed for this day trip.
